Finally, Hana do the tutorial about the hijab wrap she usually wear on her blog. I've been wondering for so long about how she wrap her hijab... :) This is the second time she did hijab wrap tutorial (you can watch her first tutorial here). It's super easy to do yet it looks chic and gorgeous. I definitely gonna try this style :)

I think this style also suitable for Summer season. You don't have to double-layered or even triple-layered the scarf around your head. You also can loosen up or adjust the pashmina wrap around your neck, to get more air-circulation without showing your neck.

For you who get bored of pinning your scarf at the bottom of your chin or pinning it behind your head, you can try this style. And this style also reduce the possibility of hijab pins snagging to your scarf.

Yesterday I was looking at one of hijab stores at my city, and I've just came across these fun summer jackets :)

In the Summer, instead of wearing a thick-heavy jacket or stuffy cardigan, it's more comfort to wear a light-weight or cotton jacket. Or, you can wear shirts or blouses with front-open-buttons as Summer 'jackets'... :)

Pair a jacket with sleeveless Summer tops or maxi dresses for 'cool' cover-ups... Maxi Dress is a good choice for Summer. It has a really good air-circulation to keep us cool, isn't it? :)

And these are my favorite Maxi Dresses from Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

As an alternative look, or even a solution for maxi dress that has too-open-part at the top, try to wearing it with a belted long-jacket à la Aquascutum and cover the bosom with your big-size headscarves.
